World No. 1 Iga Swiatek and teen sensation Mirra Andreeva both have reasons to celebrate on Monday, with the updated WTA rankings consolidating one player's reign atop the ladder and ensuring a new career-high for the other.
Iga Swiatek, who picked up her a fourth title for the year in front of her home fans at Warsaw, extended her lead over the World No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka by adding 175 points to her previous 9,315 and bringing her grand total to 9,490.

In the only change in top-10 rankings, Ons Jabeur replaced Carolina Garcia in the fifth spot. While neither of them played any tournaments this week, the Frenchwoman dropped a bunch of ranking points during her title run at Warsaw last year.
Garcia dropped 180 ranking points, bringing her total down to 4,685 points and No. 6 in the standings, while Jabeur remained steady at 4,846 poins.
Coco Gauff and Petra Kvitova, with 3,390 and 3,341 points respetively, follow in seventh and eight sports, with Maria Sakkari (3,310) and the recently-crowned Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova (3,106) rounding out the top 10 of the latest WTA rankings.
Teen sensation Mirra Andreeva, meanwhile, also reached a new high of No. 63 after a couple of players ranked above her in the ladder dropped a few points. The Russian has 930 points in her kitty.
